I have some friends at legacy carriers and they tell me about really great rooms some with gyms and far / quiet spaces specifically for sleeping and showers and the like (Delta DTW).
Is it possible to RON in a crew room 1-3 times per month if needed while commuting? DTW or ORD are my preferences. I’m commuting from north east wisconsin area.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The ORD crew room, we actually have two, the original one inside is awful. Not enough seating, in the summer its extremely hot, and the other guy isn't lying....the quite room had bed bugs in the past. The other one is outside security and may be a better option for crashing in. It doesn't have any quite rooms but it seems like it's always empty.
The DTW crew room is better, since they renovated it, but like all of our crew rooms you'll be fighting flight attendants for a recliner in the quite room. It seems like a good amount of them use the crew room as a crash pad.
I've used them a couple times for RON but they suck. Unless you're getting in after midnight and trying to catch a 5 am flight home, I'd say just get a hotel or crash pad.
Hotels are pricey but DTW has a lot of great commuter hotels. I use to use the Clarion all the time....I think it was $50 out the door and $5 extra for a 5 pm checkout that they would roll into the next night if you ended up staying the night again. Free breakfast too. This hotel made commuting to reserve somewhat doable..
